Here in Oregon the weather is getting cold, the leaves are changing, and tomorrow we are going to fix ourselves an early Thanksgiving celebration. I'm home (meaning: from work) with my mother, father, and brother who have all been able to converge in Portland to visit myself, my sister, and her two month old twin boys. Our sweet friends (family-by-association) K and R also have family in town, so we decided to throw celebration into the mix. Yay! I get to post some new food pics! :)

It must be something about watching all these debates right around the time when I'm thinking Halloween-ey thoughts, but lately these drawings of grumbling faces have been appearing again and again. They remind me of bookends, or shadow puppets.

This is the story of moving to Portland, OR from the east coast to be in the company of family, friends, and fellow artists. I'm an illustrator, bookseller and printmaker with an Etsy shop in its second year. This place brings together the business of the businesses I love, the rich creative life, and witness to my new nephews as they discover this world.
